Hopefully by the end of next week, or early the week after we'll be sending out a draft of the Wengen paper. Keith, Tim and I are just finishing it off. We'd given up on you sending us something on low-resolution terrestrial proxies. This didn't matter, but a month ago we got sent a couple of pages (attached) on marine low-res proxies (from Michael Schulz who was at Wengen). In the next few days, can you write a couple of pages on terrestrial low-res proxies - varves mainly. We don't really want the bullshit and optimistic stuff that Michael has written that sounds as though it could have been written by a coral person 25 years ago. We'll have to cut out some of his stuff. What we want is good honest stuff, warts and all, dubious dating, interpretation marginally better etc. Are you going to Henry Diaz's meeting on Tahiti at the beginning of April - on paleo ENSO? He's retired from NOAA and is now working for CIRES - still living in Hawaii though, so same Henry. Cheers Phil
